Re: One Piece World Seeker (PS4, Open World(?), 2018)

My biggest concern at this point is that the world looks rather generic and lacks the weird flavor of One Piece. Not that every island is inspired but this one looks particularly plain, if reasonably pretty.

The island is probably the first area of the game. I would really doubt it all occurs there, especially with the hook of Marejois going up in flames and such.

Re: One Piece World Seeker (PS4, Open World(?), 2018)

Here is what I call nice interviews, please watch them both because even though there is a huge overlap between the two interviews some different details are still revealed in one and not the other.https://www.gamereactor.eu/grtv/352413https://youtu.be/0B5TMMS4MbE
These confirm many things such as Luffy being the only playable character, there being more maps in the game, and more manga characters being generally in the game.
I currently have a very optimistic view on the game, while some might get disappointed by the fact that Luffy is the only playable character, I think it's a great idea that will let the developers capitalise and maximize the usage of Luffy's various abilities, because otherwise they would have to make the maps bland/boring to allow other significantly less mobile characters to be as enjoyable.

Re: One Piece World Seeker (PS4, Open World(?), 2018)

I'm cautiously optimistic. An open world One Piece game sounds fun. The graphics don't look so good, but that doesn't dominate whether or not the game is good. I'm going to be waiting and seeing how this turns out, and hoping for the best. The potential is there.

Re: One Piece World Seeker (PS4, Open World(?), 2018)

Got to admit, I'm pretty bummed about the game being Luffy-only, but I suppose Robby is right, that if it's more flexible in traversing the world with him, then the more static Unlimited style, it's for the best.

One thing, though. I hope there's more to the enemies then just mooks. Like sub-bosses you can stumble upon by chance. That would be really cool.

Re: One Piece World Seeker (PS4, Open World(?), 2018)

I'm more pleased that it seems like they're taking their time with this one, with no indication it's being rushed out the door like most licensed games. Looks like this one is getting some polish before the release date.

Re: One Piece World Seeker (PS4, Open World(?), 2018)

I wouldn't count the other Straw Hats out just yet. It's more confirmed Luffy will be the main POV than him being exclusively playable, and I reaaaallly doubt they'd leave the main cast on the side. I imagine it'll be somewhat like Unlimited Adventure Red, where Luffy has his exclusive maps, and then more open areas will be accessible to everyone else.

Bah, all speculation at this point though. I want to be hyped, but it's too early aaaaaaaah.

Zoro was seen in a screenshot. I would guess you can bring along at least one crewmate for your adventures.

Re: One Piece World Seeker (PS4, Open World(?), 2018)

It has been confirmed in an interview that Luffy is the only playable character. Honestly, this has me more excited for the game. Mainly because I'd rather they work on fine tuning a single character and building a world around their mechanics. I hope they take full advantage of Luffy's moveset when designing and building the world. I know we have only seen one zone so far, but hopefully whenever the next trailer drops, we'll see more. If it is more of the same, then I will start to worry.

This is the important bit, especially if the crew isn't playable and they just serve as NPC quest givers or something.

I'd like a source on this, otherwise if you're referring to the interviews above, that's not quite enough to be confirmation for a single playable Luffy.

It's understandable that it'd be nice to have them focus on one character, but I'd like to keep the hope alive that the rest of the crew will be involved outside of the helpful NPC.

Re: One Piece World Seeker (PS4, Open World(?), 2018)

That is more on the interviewer. There are lots of questions that could have been asked. I hope there is a bigger event where journalists can ask questions. I don't know what the criteria for this press one in Paris was. Need less fan questions and more nitty gritty. How long has the game been in development? When do they plan to show more? What does focusing on Luffy allow from a technical standpoint?

It happens all the time sadly where people ask questions about things not seen to where of course the answer is "wait and see."
